    Hello all, boy do I wish I had found you guys last year would have saved my husband and I a lot of grief, financial headaches, and heart ache. We just went thru a horrific ordeal with a certain company. We are new to trucking, my husband has only been OTR for barely a year now, and I have already learned so much by just reading posts. My husband has recently quit one company and started with another and so far we are loving this new company, true he has only been there a week, the true test is if money rolls in.
    As for me I stay at home and raise our four year old daughter and occasionally take on temperary jobs and volunteer my time to a community theater as the stage artist (anything that needs painting, thats me). I will probably use this forum as research dooing lots of reading. Feel free to contact me.
    It was very difficult to start living a life without him especially for our little girl well CRE had him out so long (12 weeks was his longest) it is now hard to include him in our life, but here is to a new company with better home time so we can start getting a routine down and be a family together. I hope to learn here and perhaps help others, any new trucker wives, who are going thru hard changes in life. If anyone has any questions or concerns dont hesitate to ask. I am listening.
